Our Approach to Christian Education: We believe that all Christians are on a journey of spiritual transformation, and that each is called to ministry – to serving the world in a unique way, as part of the mystical “Body of Christ”. To support growth in faith, and to be equipped for service, we study the scriptures and other Christian texts. We approach moral decision-making with deference to individual conscience, and balance insight from scripture with insight from daily life and from other sources of wisdom. This is the “Three legged stool approach”, seeking guidance from scripture, tradition, and experience. Questions are encouraged, and differences of perspective respected. Our focus is on the journey, not on defining doctrine. |

Sunday 9:15 Lectionary Study (in the Library): Thought provoking… Mo. Kathleen Patton leads a lively discussion of the readings for the day’s service, allowing folks to either reflect on what they have heard at the 7:30 worship time, or prepare for the 10:00. Open discussion, laughter, and coffee are all part of the morning. Just drop in! |
